I tried to launch it using a cygwin shell, does not work... (argument is not understood by the program). From a DOS Box (with properly arranged paths of course) : same thing ... But when I enter the same command-line, as in the DOS Box, in the Start/Execute Panel in the start menu : It works!!! So my question is : is it possible in a C program under cygwin (I use gcc), to launch such command lines? (like the "system()" instruction, but for windows). thanks in advance Nicolas DUTEIL -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
